Answer:

Proportion states that the two ratio or fractions are equal.

Given the statement: One grain of sand approximately weighs 7 * 10^{-5} g.

To find how many grains of sand are there in 6300 kg of sand.

Let x be the number of grains of sand in 6300 kg of sand.

Using conversion :

1 kg = 1000 g

6300 kg = 6300000 g

Then, by using proportion method, we have;

\frac{1}{7\times 10^{-5}}= \frac{x}{6300000}

\frac{10^5}{7} = \frac{x}{6300000}

By cross multiply we get;

6300000 \times 10^5 = 7x

or

63 \times 10^5 \times 10^5 = 7x

63 \times 10^{5+5} = 7x  [using x^a \cdot x^b = x^{a+b}]

63 \times 10^{10} = 7x

Divide both sides by 7 we get;

x = \frac{63 \times 10^{10}}{7} = 9 \times 10^{10}

Standard form is a way of of writing down very large or very small numbers easily.

Therefore, 9 \times 10^{10} grains of sand are there in 6300 kg of sand.

Zolol [24]

Volume = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h

150 = \frac{1}{3} x 3.14 x 10 x 10 x h

150 x 3 = 314 x h

h = 450/314

h = 1.43 inches
